متن کاملProjecting Grammatical Features in Nominals: Cognitive Processing Theory & Computational Implementation
The cognitive processing theory and computational implementation of a linguistic theory of the representation and projection of grammatical features in nominals is described. The processing of nominals is part of a larger model of language comprehension implemented in the ACT-R cognitive architecture. The model combines a serial, pseudo-deterministic processing mechanism for building linguistic...
